BE IT RESOLVED BY THE C0~CIL OF T~'IE CITY OF BAKERSFIELD,
as follows:
'~EREAS, the Relief Problem in the San Joaquin Valley is
a serious one to every municipality, county, state and federal
agency,
AND V~HEREAS, if work were to be started upon the Friant
Dam and Canals of the Central Valley Project it would provide employ-
ment for many hundreds of our citizens,
AND ~.~ERPAS, though start of construction has been promised
repeatedly, as yet no contracts for actual construction on the Project
have been let on the Friant Division,
AND ~rHER~S, we are disturbed at the thought that Congress
might not appropriate sufficient money to carry on for the next fiscal
year all work which could be started on every unit of the Project,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City
of Bakersfield that Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation Hon.
John C. Page, The United States Senators from California and the
Members of the House of Representatives and the Water Authority of
the State of California be urged to do everything within their
power to see that work is started upon the Friant Division of the
Central Valley Project immediately, and that every possible effort
be made ~o see that Congress appropriates sufficient money for the
ensuing fiscal year so that all work undertaken can be continued
without fear of interruption due to la~ck of funds, so that as many
as possible of our citizens may be given immediate employment and
the concern over the continued delay in starting work may be allay~d.
